Breathtaking Views of Astronomy and Planet Earth

Like us on Facebook :)

Astronomers, astronauts and satellites are always taking photographs of Earth and our nearby vicinity, for both scientific data purposes and to keep the public interested in the endless horizons of outer space. Astronauts on the International Space Station are treated to sunrises over the Earth itself, views of the auroras from above, city lights and hurricanes, with views that most of us can only dream of.

Here for your viewing enjoyment, in commemoration of the December 2010 lunar eclipse, are some breathtaking views of Earth and our local space.
